About

“Portuguese composer Nuno Canavarro stands as one of the most underrated yet brilliant figures in the world avant-garde electronic music.

And while his Plux Quba has rightly been reissued in recent years, Canavarro's frustratingly elusive follow-up Mr. Wollogallu is at last getting a much-deserved re-release…

…Carlos Maria and Nuno created everlasting music that contains an undeniable, enchanting mystery. Mr. Wollogallu features sophisticated, adventurous soundscapes that depict, in a manner both blurry and clear at the same time, ancient maps, distant travels and evocative landscapes, an alchemy of the acoustic and the electronic, created using techniques that were unusual at the time.” – Exclaim

Bittersweet music that moves like a glowing jellyfish in the sea…

…one cannot imagine how a human should have composed this music consciously. Actually, there should be something like this only in the dream. Actually, this is music that eludes any fixation. Music that appears once and then disappears again.” – HHV Mag
